Solarpunk is very vulnerable to greenwashing, it’s happening now. AOC is “solarpunk” FYI. She’s cool and all, but when politicians in the imperial core are “solarpunk”… yeah…

There’s also a very technocratic susceptibility to exploitation. I see for example, lots of hydrogen propaganda making its way into solarpunk spaces. Basically, it’s not super dogmatic, which has lots of benefits but also leaves it to be heavily exploited and co-opted, giving a “solarpunk but capitalist” greenwashing campaign a very easy path
